I stayed in one of the family veranda rooms on the Equinox, during a Mediterranean cruise. At that time, they did not require 5 people to be in the cabin. There were 4 of us in the cabin and the kids stayed in a bunk bed area. The only complaint I had with that area is you hear the anchor go down and it wakes you very early in the morning.As it was a Mediterranean cruise, there were many ports and I was woken early almost every day.
